Chapter 16: Medicine
He successfully knocked down the horse alone; the man and horse fell heavily onto the street!
Almost at the same time, Su Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to kick the cart in front of her!
The cart flew out and hit the carriage that was thrown out by inertia.
The cart stopped in front of the old couple who couldn't run away in time. The old couple looked at the carriage close at hand and were so frightened that their legs went limp.
The horse struggled a few times after being knocked down. The young man took out a handkerchief and covered its mouth and nose, knocking it out.
The young man seemed to be injured and looked very pained.
Su Xiaoxiao walked over and asked him, "Are you okay?"
The young man covered his left arm. "No…"
Before he could finish, a woman's scream came from the shop behind him. "Young Master! Young Master, what's wrong? Don't scare me!"
This shop was the most expensive snack shop in town—Jin Ji.
The one in trouble was a five-year-old boy in royal blue brocade clothes.
Just now, he was eating sugar-fried chestnuts when he bumped into a young man's horse. The horse fell under his windowsill.
The huge commotion made him tremble and choke on the chestnut.
His face quickly turned green and he gradually began to suffocate.
The servant girl was frightened, but she was not a doctor. Other than screaming, there was nothing she could do.
Su Xiaoxiao grabbed the young man's dislocated arm and repositioned it. Then, without caring about the young man's surprise, she quickly rushed into Jin Ji.
"Why are you crying? Hurry up and find a doctor! The medical center is right ahead! Quickly carry the child over!"
It was the shopkeeper of Jin Ji.
The maidservant was already flustered. How could she carry a five-year-old child?
A kind-hearted young man reached out and carried the little boy from her arms.
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes turned cold as she blocked his path. "Give me the child."
The young man looked strangely at the fat village girl who had suddenly appeared. "Who are you?"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the little boy who was gradually losing consciousness and said seriously, "Give me the child. He's dying!"
This child was obviously lacking oxygen!
Generally speaking, if one was deprived of oxygen for more than a minute, one's breathing would stop. If one was deprived of oxygen for more than three minutes, cerebral edema would occur. If one was deprived of oxygen for more than six minutes, one would cause irreversible damage to the organs of the body and and the person might even suffocate!
The young man frowned and said, "Little girl, don't cause trouble! I have to send this child to the medical center!"
A customer couldn't stand it anymore. "Where did this village girl come from? Why are you causing trouble?"
The two old men shook their heads.
"Sigh, that's how the Zhang family died. There's no way to save them!"
"That's right. There's nothing we can do even if we go to the medical center."
Su Xiaoxiao didn't question the doctors' medical skills and said to the young man, "The medical center is too far away. You won't be able to make it in time! I can treat him!"
What kind of joke was this? A little fat village girl actually said that she could treat such a dangerous choking disease. No one believed Su Xiaoxiao, and no one dared to give her the child.
The shopkeeper jumped out at this moment. "Where did this stinky woman come from? Get out of the way! Do you want to kill this child?"
He did not care if this illness could be treated. In short, nothing could happen in his shop!
The logic didn't make sense. Time was tight, so Su Xiaoxiao could only use force.
"Excuse me!"
She kicked the young man, and the man let go in pain. Su Xiaoxiao caught the child with both arms.
"She's snatching the child!" the shopkeeper shouted.
When everyone saw that a fat village girl had come to cause trouble at the critical moment of life and death, they were all furious.
"Stupid girl! If you don't let go of that child, we won't be polite to you!" A burly man pointed at Su Xiaoxiao's nose and said.
"Miss! This child is about to die. Don't cause trouble!"
"What do you want? Let's talk nicely. Don't hold a dying child hostage!"
"Let her treat him!"
As everyone was talking, a cold young man's voice suddenly appeared at the door.
Everyone was stunned. The crowd made way almost spontaneously.
It was a beautiful young man dressed in luxurious clothes. He had jade-like eyebrows and a tall figure. He was elegant and had a priceless jadeite pendant hanging from his waist.
His shoulder blades and clothes were a little dirty, but his noble and otherworldly aura was not inferior.
The lobby fell silent.
He came to Su Xiaoxiao and said word by word, "You treat him."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded. "Give me a chair."
The young man lashed out with his whip and swept a chair over.
He was actually a martial artist!
Soon, someone recognized him as the young man who had collided with the horse on the street just now. This time, everyone did not dare to act rashly.
Su Xiaoxiao quickly sat down and let the child lie on her left arm. She placed her palm under his chin.
Then, she began to pat the spot behind his back.
Once, twice, three times!
On the fifth slap, the child suddenly spat out a chestnut!
The child caught his breath and burst into tears!
The onlookers were so shocked that they were speechless.
The child's cry woke the servant girl up. She scrambled over and hugged the child tightly. "Wuwu… Young Master, you scared me to death…"
The guests and passersby surrounded him.
An auntie said, "Stop crying. Give the child some water."
A businessman at the side handed him tea. "Don't let the child eat chestnuts again."
An old man stroked his beard. "It's all thanks to that girl just now… Hurry up and thank her… Otherwise, your young master would not have been saved. This is the first time I've lived to this age… Eh? Where's that girl?"
Su Xiaoxiao left Jin Ji.
She was in a hurry to save other people just now. She wondered how the three children were doing.
She crossed the street. The place where the three little ones had been standing was empty.
Her eyebrows jumped!
"Dahu! Erhu! Xiaohu!"
Just as she was feeling anxious, the three little ones ran out of a jewelry shop.
"Madam, your child…" the shop assistant reminded her.
The woman who was choosing jewelry turned around. "It's not my child. Don't talk nonsense."
The clerk was shocked.
Just now, the three little fellows had swaggered in behind this lady. He had thought that they were together.
Su Xiaoxiao felt relieved when she saw the three little fellows.
The three little ones pounced on her and hugged her.
She squatted down and patted the heads of the three of them one by one. She said in relief, "You know to wait in the shop. How smart."
It was the end of the year, and there were many people on the streets. If one was not careful, one might be targeted. It was much safer to be in the shops, especially high-end shops that sold expensive jewelry.
Being praised, the three little ones blushed shyly.
